Ground beef and macaroni simmer in a paprika-seasoned tomato sauce, then get a cheddar topping. The pasta cooks right in the pot, so there's no separate water to drain.

Cook

Step 1. Heat Olive Oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned with no pink inside, about 6 minutes.
Step 2. Add Onion and Bell Pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3. Stir in Garlic and Paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4. Add Canned Tomatoes, Beef Stock, Salt and Black Pepper. Scrape the bottom of the pot and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes.
Step 5. Stir in Macaroni. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the pasta is tender, about 12 minutes. Add a splash of water if the pot gets dry before the pasta is ready.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Turn off the heat and sprinkle Cheddar Cheese over the goulash. Cover until melted, about 2 minutes, then serve.
